Student Response To Description #1 (Dread)

This piece of writing is actually very interesting. This is because it is very descriptive, detailed, and there’s always something there to catch your attention. When you read this you can picture every little thing in your head. Another thing that makes this very interesting is that it has a lot of metaphors so it gets you thinking on why the writer chose the comparisons he used. In my opinion I think that the author’s mood or impression he was trying to convey is a very depressing, dark, nervous, dread feeling and as if the character didn’t want to do what he was doing. As if he was being forced. “Shuffle my feet” The author showed nervousness in this piece of writing by using the word shuffle. And he showed a depressing feeling by using the quote “Peeking behind the darkness.” This quote also relates to nervousness in a way. I liked this writing piece but it was sometimes confusing and I had to read it over a couple times.
